A Return to Nature.

1t is my profound conviction that the
only cure for the sick minds and the sick
bodies of us is return to nature. All
the sturdy virtues ring out Of the soil
Abolition of land monopoly: cheap half
acre and one and two acre lots in the
suburbs; efficient train service to and
from the city center; cheap homes, and
horticulture round about them; and
cheap farms clustered around the suburbs
and as easy Of access from the city as they
in these things lie the hope OF the
nations of the world and not in schools
aud libraries and good government alone.
Horticulture, forest culture, agriculture,
stock raising, bee keeping lead to intimate
acquaintance with nature; knowledge OF
nature brings a robuster literature and
manlier race OF men and womanlier race
of women; and manly men and womsnly
women make self government possible
and life desirable.-Cor. Boston Tran

MAKING FURNITURE.
ART AND INDUSTRY CO-OPERAT-
ING FOR HOME ADORNMENT.
The Methods by Which Beautiful Designs
Are Brought Within the Reach of Per-
sons of Moderate Means - Machinery
That Turns Out Bureau in Six Minutes.

The making of designs for furniture is
nowadays a recognized department of
art Inventive genius has been busy
perfecting machinery by which the con-
ceptions of the artist can be quickly re-
produced to any extent. Art and indus
try have been happily united for the
identifying of the home
In no country is furniture so we'll
made as in America. The greatest care
is exercised in the selection and prepar-
alton of stock, the lumber being first
steamed to drive out the sap AMI then
kiln dried. At the present time oak,
mahogany, black walnut and cherry are
the principal woods used in the manu-
facture of fine furniture. Ash has been
discarded for two reasons; In the first
place, it is so hard to work, and then,
too, while the outer surface may be very
firm, the carving tools cutting through
this find the underlying tibres in many
instances soft and to a certain degree
pulpy. When such is the case the outer
surface scales off, disfguring the piece
of furniture.
Marble for bureau tops has passed out
of fashion, except in certain parts of
the country, but it is still used for the
tops of washstands The lumber, ready
for use, is cut into different degrees of
thickness-quarter of an inch, half inch
inch, two, two and half and three
inches, according as it is intended for
drawers, uprights, rails for bedsteads,
etc, common sense and judgment being
used that this be done to the best adj
vantage, wasting as little stock as pos
sible, for in case of mahogany, for in
stance, which costs from sixteen to
twenty cents per foot, bad judgment in
cutting would result in actual loss of
money. These parts are put through the
sand-papering machine, or in some fac
tories through the planer, in both cases
rendering the surfaces smooth as glass
The parts now go to the different ma
chimes, some to be dovetailed, doweled,
carved and sawed.
The carving machine, which does the
work Gin the rough" is an ingenious
